For a spot–perpetual (cash-and-carry) trade, the best BOME route is to buy spot on Binance and short the perpetual on Gate: -0.02% gross, -0.22% net, with -0.046% a day of funding on the short leg.
Spot–spot BOME arbitrage (buy on Binance, withdraw, deposit and sell on KuCoin) shows -0.01% gross right now. It only works if withdrawals on the buying exchange and deposits on the selling exchange are open, so check the D/W dots before moving coins.
Small BOME gaps usually disappear after fees, slippage and funding. Look at the Net column, the executable Depth and the spread history before trading: a gap that has been open for days is a different trade from a one-minute spike.
